Frank Lampard covers his face with a scarf as he takes his dog Minnie for a walk

Frank Lampard headed out for a dog walk in Kensington Gardens, London on Monday.

The Chelsea boss had been self isolating since March 13, when one of his players, Callum Hudson-Odoi, tested positive for coronavirus.

But the head coach was seen enjoying some sunshine in London on Monday, heading to his local park with the family dog Minnie, while taking precautions with his choice of clothing. 

Frank, 41, spent some of the walk covering his face with a scarf, while also wearing gloves with his sportswear and baseball cap. 

The former football player turned coach did his best to stick to social distancing rules and stay away from other dog walkers in the busy park. 

Frank’s wife Christine revealed the positive benefits of family life when she hosted Loose Women last Thursday, admitting she’d never seen her little girl Patricia, 18 months, happier now Frank is spending time at home. 

During a discussion on how they are all coping amid the global pandemic, Christine told her Loose Women co-stars on Thursday that she’s relishing having her busy husband home. 

‘Frank’s been at home and he never is, he’s always away and I have never seen our little girl or dog happier,’ Christine gushed to co-stars Stacey Solomon, Carol McGiffin and Nadaia Sawalha.

‘It’s just us, it’s literally just us in the house 24 hours a day and it’s just felt strangely quite nice,’ she explained, but quickly cautioned ‘it’s early days!’

Christine also revealed she is taking every precaution and limiting any non-essential social contact, admitting: ‘I’d never forgive myself if I got it and recovered after a week, but later gave it to my parents’. 

‘I’m willing to do whatever I have to do.’ 

On Tuesday Christine’s husband Frank gave fans an update on the football club and Hudson-Odoi, who became the first Premier League player to be diagnosed with Covid-19. 

All professional football in England has been suspended until April 30, while Chelsea’s training complex in West London was shut down so it could be deep-cleaned and all players and staff who came into contact with Hudson-Odoi asked to self-isolate. 

The club has since reopened for those who are not self-isolating while players are keeping their fitness levels up at home.   

‘I’m happy to say that in Callum’s case, he has made great progress and almost feels his usual self, which is obviously the news we all want to hear,’ Lampard told the club’s official website. 

‘I am of course aware that not everyone can or will recover from this virus, so I urge all of the football and sporting community to continue to act responsibly and look out for the health of others. 

‘I want to make it clear that I am no medical expert when it comes to challenging times such as these but please do take the time to call older relatives and vulnerable people who might be alone, or offer to drop round shopping if they can’t get out. Let’s make sure we all take care of each other.  

‘We all miss football, but right now it’s about acting responsibly and in the best interests of society.’

‘I am sure I wasn’t the only one who found myself in a strange place with no sport this weekend, but ultimately none of that matters when we consider the bigger picture.’
